Photography Tours & Trips in South America

Get help capturing Antarctica's wild landscapes from an onboard Expedition Photographer who puts together a slideshow of your voyage images to take home. You'll photograph humpback and minke whales breaching through ice floes from the Ocean Nova's open bridge, which has 200-degree views, or shoot close-up wildlife portraits during Zodiac trips along the Antarctic Peninsula. This 11-day trip gives you great chances to photograph wandering albatrosses with three-meter wingspans over the Drake Passage and document penguin colonies with massive mountain ranges and icebergs behind them.

You'll see the colorful Seven Colors Hill in Purmamarca and the huge Salinas Grandes salt flats at 13,100ft/4,000m, where turquoise water reflects the snow-covered Chañi peaks. Frame tall cardón cacti in Los Cardones National Park and the striking rock formations at Devil's Throat in Concha's Gorge. The colonial architecture in Iruya sits at 9,120ft/2,780m with great views of the Iruya River valley, and you'll photograph the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca's multi-colored rock layers.

Photograph Lima's UNESCO-listed Historic Centre and colorful La Boca streets in Buenos Aires before shooting the ancient Pachacamac ruins and 15th-century Sacsayhuamán citadel near Cusco. Head through Sacred Valley to capture the terraced Salt Mines of Maras and mystical Moray site, then document Antarctic wildlife on Zodiac trips.

See the UNESCO-listed Nazca Lines from elevated viewpoints, where geoglyphs stretch hundreds of meters across the Ica Desert - you'll spot the famous monkey and hummingbird formations. Photograph the colorful mineral layers of Palccoyo Rainbow Mountain and the rust-red landscapes of Red Valley during golden hour, with resident llamas adding authentic Andean character to your shots. Frame Lima's colonial architecture in Miraflores from the clifftop Love Park overlooking the Pacific, then document street art and colorful facades in the bohemian Barranco district during your guided food tour.
